Check out this 2-minute amazing video from The Research Impact Academy (based in Australia) on how to craft a research impact narrative. In this video, Tamika Heiden explains six elements in an impact narrative:
- Context: What problem did you tackle
- Objectives: What did you aim to achieve
- Actions: How did you do it? What did you deliver?
- Impact claims: What changed as a result?
- Evidence: How can you prove it?
- Lessons & Future: What did you learn and what’s next
